Feed My Starving Children aims to eradicate child hunger worldwide by receiving, packing, and distributing food resources to children and families in over 95 countries.
Employees spent the afternoon packaging donated rice, grains, veggies, pasta, and other food stuffs to aid Feed My Starving Children’s fight against global hunger. The event had teammates rolling up their sleeves, suiting up in food-handling gear, and working together to pack, label, and seal nutritious meals. Overall, the Rabine team packed 23,976 meals – enough to feed 56 children for an entire year!
